what is the rpm 5400 or 7200
15212
I looked in the packaging and in the materials in the box and I couldn't find the distinction. With it being an external drive and transferring at the speed of USB 3... In not sure that will matter a whole lot unless you planned on cracking it open and installing the drives to your PC. I'm sure this can be found out on WD's website. My guess is its 5,400 due to the cost of the device being so low. As soon as I got the device I copied almost a terabyte of my baby pictures to it and it didn't seem slow an it wouldn't be often if move that quantity of data until I replace it.

They REFUSE to state it! Slimy! From the WD support site: Q: "What kind of hard drive is inside a Western Digital external product?" A: "We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure." http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1704/p/209,488/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ0MDkyMTE3NC9zaWQvX1REbVRidm0%3D

It's a solid state hardrive. That means that it is much faster than your typical 5400rpm/7200rpm hardrives. Instead of reading your memory off a rotating disk, it uses flash storage similar to your usb keys. the capacity is 1Tb, or 1024 gb of storage

From what I found on HP's site you should have no problem replacing your 40Gb with the WD1600AAJB 160Gb drive. And at $32 it's a good option. It IS an IDE drive. Be sure you match the jumper in the back to match your existing drive. Since you're replacing a 7200 rpm with another 7200 rpm I don't think you will see much of a speed difference since the specifications are pretty much the same. The seek time is the only difference I can find from 10 (old drive) to 8.9ms (new drive).

Dear Jose, These G-Drives come in 5400 and 7200rpm versions... read carefully! Luke

The LaCie drives that I looked at had 5400 RPM drives, while this one has a 7200 RPM drive. That is why I chose this one over the LaCie.

I don't have a ps4. I used it as a secondary one for my laptop and a ssd for the primary drive. I know it work for the ps3. But I have heard there was very little difference between the 5400 and 7200 rpm on the ps3. It may be the same for the ps4 too.

I did a lot of research on that before purchasing and found out that the 500GB runs at 7200 RPM while the 1GB runs at 5400RPM.Hope that helps!

No, it has a 5400 rpm drive. Really slows down otherwise great performance.

It's 300RPM. What you see attached to the head of a motor is a reducer. By lowering the RPM, the motor attached to the reducer can preform at higher torque loads. If you are looking for a high speed motor this isn't for you.

HHD = 750 GB 5400 RPM. You can see a complete spec sheet on Toshiba Web Site - Model S55-A Detailed Product Specs - Part number PSKK2U-05V08R

This device is AVTECH KPD675C and in User Manual to it in Appendix 3 it list only 7200 RPM drives. But in my opinion - for 4 camera DVR it will not generate data very fast, so 5400 may work, but you need to test it.

I have the prior 800/400/usb 2.0 version and it is 7200rpm. I can't imagine they went backwards..

WD only makes two versions of the 320gb in 2.5"7200 rpm with a 16mb buffer and a5400 rpm with a 8mb bufferamazon has this as a 5400 rpm drive with a 16mb buffer, so who made the mistake?

The 220 has Two max speeds (400 & 1400 rpm) while the 120 has One max speed (650 rpm.) Also, torque is 310 vs 115 inch/lbs. The B&D; site really sucks, http://www.blackanddecker.com/allproducts/20-volt-drills.aspx

It uses a 7200 RPM drive. Version 1 used a 5900 RPM drive. Both are SATA III with 64MB cache.

"Intellipower" RPM is intentionally not specified by Western Digital -- supposedly it is a *variable-speed* motor, I believe in the 5400 to 5900 RPM range. (They compare themselves on sequential reads to 7200RPM products, but mostly it's just a big cache and predictive algorithm responsible. On random reads, it won't compare so favorably.) Check out storagereview website for a full review of the WD20EARS, which uses similar basic drive internals.

Thanks for the update. Did you mean the WD 5400 rpm 1tb drive 8 cache.. Can't find it in 7200 rpm. Thanks
